>> there was a worldwide survey of 21 countries who sas to who they would prefer. 21 countries preferred obama. pakistan preferred romney. i think the stories i've been hearing are really just stories. as far as the three debates were concerned, i think it's a general view that romney was certainly more vigorous in the first debate. but most people i've spoken to and my own view is the same said in the second and third debate, president obama decided that he had to deal with this and scored very good points. and i would say most people gave him the edge on the second and third debate. so the news stories focused really on governor romney's vigorous report in the first debate in which he swung away from being a radical republican which he had to be to get his party's nomination and tried to look like a centrist and i think that surprised everyone including obama. >> he also managed to look presidential in those debates, as well, and that was something that perhaps carried him further in the polls than many expected. and does the storm destroy some of that lead that he gained because obama

let's try to imagine the world of mitt romney were to win. faced with a democratic senate, he would also observe the core lesson of this campaign, conservatism loses, mod race wins. to get reelected in a country with a rising minority population and shrinking republican coalition, it would reduce him to govern as a center right moderate. the republicans in congress would probably go along. they wouldn't want to destroy a republican president. romney would champion enough reforms to allow some republicans to justify their vote. the bottom line is this, if obama wins, we'll probably get -- romney wins, we're likely to get republican reform. romney is more of a flexible flip-flopper than obama. he has more influence over the most intransigent element in the washington equation of house republicans. he's more likely to get big stuff done. >> so, david, this appears to be a time when flip-flopping could pay off. >> it could. you know, one of the things that's bugged me about this whole election is the candidate -- they've got big plans, we're livi
